I actually had Phil Jaques in my team This changes things especially who my captain will be. Maybe having an Aussie bowler as captain isn't such a bad idea now.

quite tricky game to play this time, surely australia will dominate in the game and its better idea to choose top line up from australia side and then couple of good players from bangladeshi side.

I've extended the deadline by another half an hour due to cricinfo not listing the times right :

nice idea to choose warne as captain like me, but it seems that there is risk too in that, cuz if bangladeshi batsman got out in the early overs then might nothing left for warne there. only couple of wickets may be.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh I didn't go through with it in the end. I went with Hussey. He unlike Ponting and Hayden doesn't play that many risky shots so a 200 could happen.

As you say Warne is too risky cause the wickets might be very spread also MacGill usually takes more wickets than Warne when they play.

 

[y2j826]

thats what i was thinking too to change my captain into clark or ponting, but was bit confused and already changed my captain twice so didnt changed it again and now its closed and i will play with warne as captain.

 

[aussie1st]

Dam I was thinking of getting Nafees for Ashraful. The latter better do something.

 

[irottev]

Which 3?

Silly imo

Silly? lol.

Im glad I picked some. I wish i'd picked more now

One was Bashar. hes doing good.

 

[aussie1st]

Everyone should have picked Bashar it was a no brainer after the SL series.
